I have trouble accepting the fact this song is 10 years old, when it feels so present for me. Music transcends, in case you didn’t know.

“Build your own television receiverStaying home can’t be that bad for meBecause I’m not scared, but I’d like some extra spare timeEasily earn me big moneyI’m a modern girl, but I fold in half so easily When I put myself in the picture of successI could learn world trade or try to map the ocean

When you’re dead, in hospitals and freewaysWhen you’re dead, in resting homes and clinicsWhen you’re dead, it must be nice to finishWhen you’re dead

I’ve had it with you, and Mexico can fucking waitAnd all of those French films about trainsBecause I’m not scared, but I’d like some extra spare timeI’m not scared, but the bills keep changing colors

When you’re dead, in hopsitals and freewaysWhen you’re dead, in dress shirts and neck tiesWhen you’re dead, in apartments and on beachesWhen you’re dead

They say California is a recipe for a black holeAnd I say I’ve got my best shoes on, I’m ready to goReady to go, ready to go, I’m ready to goReady to go, ready to go, I’m ready to goThese are times that can’t be weathered And we have never been back there since then“~Picture of SuccessRilo Kiley, Take Offs and Landings
